Good evening/morning
I have been looking into router table set ups and am trying to determine which route to go. Id appreciate your thoughts on this...
One approach is the Bench Dog Prolift (http://www.benchdog.com/prolift.htm), in which I would be using my Porter-Cable 694 or 690 (the Amazon deal) routers. Both are 1 3/4 HP. I would have to buy a $20 adapter to make that work since they are the smaller motors.
The other approach is the FT3000VCE 3-1/4 HP Variable Speed Plunge Router (http://www.freudtools.com/p-261-ft30...ge-router.aspx) or possibly another comparable plunge router. Since this has above table bit change and height adjustment, it seems the wiser of choices. I can't think of any concrete advantages of the lift approach other then it could potentially be more stable and therefore produce cleaner cuts (any merit to that thought?).
When considering cost, it seems I'd get more with the Freud approach...
Any opinions on this? Again, I really appreciate your thoughts
